Devils Illustrated recently caught up with the father of four-star defensive end Prince Shembo to gauge his son's interest level in Duke. Though he remains committed to Notre Dame, the Blue Devils still have Shembo pegged as a high priority.

Parents often exert a vast amount of influence over their child when it comes to the recruiting process, and while the elder Shembo, Maurice, is not pushing his son in one direction or another he is clearly involved in his son's decision-making process. That's only because he's a caring father that wants the best for his son.
